Application filed May 3, 1920. Serial No. 378,595.

To aZZ whom it may concern Be it known that I, SAMUEL T. Coon, a subject of the King of Great Britain, residing at London, in the Province of Ontario and Dominion of Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pipes, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an improved pipe and the principal object of the invention is to provide a pipe having an improved bowl construction whereby there is provided a nicotine well to receive the nicotine.

Another object of the invention is to provide improved means for causing the nicotine to collect in the well.

Another object of the invention is to so construct this pipe that it may be easily cleaned when necessary.

This invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein Figure 1 is a View showing the improved pipe in longitudinal section, and

Figure 2 is a transverse sectional view through the bowl of the pipe taken along the line 22 of Figure 1.

The pipe is provided with a bowl 10 from which there extends a stem or neck 11 receiving the mouth-piece 12, the mouthpiece being of a conventional construction and simply showing one form of mouth-piece which may be used in connection with this improved pipe. This bowl 10 is provided with a tobacco receiving pocket or chamber 13 from the lower end of which there extends a smoke-passage 14L communicating with the nicotine well 15. This nicotine well 15 is positioned intermediate the length of the Smoke passage 14 and it will thus be seen that the well is so positioned that it will receive the nicotine from the smoke as the smoke passes into the enlarged end portion 14 of the smoke passage before passing out through the smoke passage 16 of the mouthpiece. A rib or abutment lip 17 eX tends transversely across the smoke passage 14 above the nicotine well and serves not only to guide the smoke downwardly towards the well but further serves as an abutment against which nicotine can collect. By having this abutment rib positioned directly above the well, the nicotine will drop into the well. Threaded openings 18 and 19 are formed in the bowl to communicate with the nicotine well 15 and with the upper end of the smoke passage 14 in alignment with the point at which the smoke passage communicates with the lower portion of the chamber 13 and these threaded openings are closed by plugs 20 and 21 screwed. into the openings and thus made removable. By providing the removable plugs access may be had to the nicotine well and to the smoke passage and the bottom of the tobacco chamber thus permitting cleaning of the pipe with a small amount of effort.

WVhen in use, the pipe will be filled with tobacco in the ordinary manner and when lighted, the smoke will pass through the passage 1 1 and be deflected towards the nicotine bowl or well. The nicotine contained in the smoke will be deposited in the nicotine well either by direct dropping into the well or by collecting against the walls of the smokepassage and against the abutment rib 17 and then passing into the nicotine well. When it is necessary to clean the pipe, the plug 21 will be first removed and the nicotine emptied from the nicotine well.

withdrawn from the neck 11 easy access may be had to the smoke passage and then also easy access maybe had to the tobacco pocket 13 thus permitting the tobacco pocket to be thoroughly cleaned and further permitting the smoke passage and nicotine well to be thoroughly cleaned. The plugs 20 and 21 can then be put back 'in place and when the mouth-piece is again inserted, the pipe will be ready for use.

What is claimed is Y '1. A pipe comprising a bowl having a neck extending therefrom, the bowl being provided with a tobacco pocket and with a smoke passage extending into the neck, the inner end of the smoke-passage communicating with the bottom portion of the tobacco pocket and the smoke passage being provided intermediate its length with an offset portion positioned beneath the tobaccopocket and constituting a nicotine well, removable plugs one fitting into the openings formed in-the bot tom of the nicotine well, and another in the smoke passage at a point in alignment with the connection of the smoke passage with the tobacco pocket, and an abutment rib extending transversely of the smoke passage above the nicotine well.
